Hi,

been having this problem since forever, and cannot figure out what is wrong? been checking the FAQ non stop.

basically i only want to have 2 lots opened, but why is it always 4 lots opened whenever limit order is triggered? where did I go wrong? any advice would be appreciated.

We see you are using TransAct. Therefore, the most likely explanation for this is that you have the Auto Bracket feature enabled in the TransAct software. This will need to be disabled.

hi, read your reply but still dont understand. how do i disable this "transact software" thing? all i could find from your FAQ https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TransAct.php#Trading is

====
Notice : When trading from Sierra Chart, and you are running the TransAct AT software at the same time, you must disable the Auto Bracket feature in the TransAct AT software if you are using Attached Orders in Sierra Chart. Otherwise, a new order entered from Sierra Chart will cause an automatic bracket to be submitted from TransAct AT, resulting in two sets of brackets.

cant find the instructions to disable? unless u are referred to the external broker software (which comes with my sierra) and that i should turn off auto trading there or something?

Yes, this is what we are referring to. Contact your broker about the Auto Bracket feature.
